I've changed the indifferent word "Default" there to "Default
Style" [which is much more descriptive] just recently - I think the last
week - so I guess no real damage if we remove it from the preselected
list, and have just Text Body there.

The preselection works a bit differently - it is hardcoded, so I can
change in the code what appears in the UI when the new document is open.

If you come up with a list of styles to have there by default here on
the list, I'll change that accordingly.

And - being at the HackFest in Munich, I've just managed to get the
previews of the styles working:

Feels much better this way :-) - I hope OK for you?

All the best,
